Wirble-perk?

[Wingnutt]

Iv disabled WWs with a jeep and you guys want it perked. Thats funny.

ive killed a tiger with a jeep, guess it should be unperked.

Dont perk them. THey are realy annoying, but it makes you better in the game. It helps people know how to kill them. For example:


There is a wirbelwind below you.
You get on 1 side, your friend gets on the other.
You both dive down.
Which ever one it shoots at pulls away
The other turrets it.

No, youve got the kill with your jeep.

The Wirblewind has broken endless vulching. Because of the Wirble, you need to bring bombs and lots of them to an enemy base, somewhat higher than tree-top level. This emphasis on dropping lots of high-explosives to the enemy and the now distasteful nature of flying below 6000 feet over disputed territory makes things a least a tad more realistic. It follows that intercepting bombers and jabos will actually make more of a difference than it did before. And an effective defense tool for the ground units against jabos will make them less sitting targets than they were before, making the ground war more viable. All this will, IMO, will help put the air war aspect of in the MA in the proper context and make it more realistic (Or less unrealistic, if you will.)

I admit the Wirbel will be inevitiably used for dweebery as well as good ends at times. But I've only personally seen a runway camped by enemy wirbels once, and at least they had to drive there to vulch, instead of flying. I'd say the good effects are more pronounced than the bad.

the wirblewind is the ack runners best friend

should wait and see what happens after HTC lightens the lethality of it

where you got the info ?

[TwinBoom]

Stop vulching bases? How will i pad my score.

HTC has said nothing about lowering the lethality of the wirbel.

An accurate divebomber can release his ordes and pull out well before he gets within most people's effective range. And wobblies cannot stop a flight of level bombers above 6000 feet at all.

I see that people are still posting about the WW and state it should be "perked"   What I don't see is the arguement "why" ??

It's not tough to disable
It's not faster than any other veh in the game
It has very limited range
It can't fly away from danger like an A/C can

So what exactly is the reason why people would want it perked??

Is it the multiple barrels??   Well if this is the case, how many cannons does a Tiffy have?  or a N1kj?  or a Mossie?  or an F4U1c?  Not to mention rockets and bombs??    I have been asking for this veh since 2001, I applaud HT for it's addition.  While the Ostie is a good AA weapon it's limited to a single slower firing gun.  There has always been multi-barreled A/C in the game, so why not Multi-barreled AA.
Yes, the M16 is quad mount, however it lacks reach and punch.  You might as well be throwing spitwads at the enemy.

If HTC does decide to "perk" (even a little) the Wirbelwind, then they need to seriously consider "perking" all the other A/C that have multi-barrel 20mm guns.

my 2 cents

<S>

p.s.  I still think the Flak88 would be a great addition to the game IMO

Dumb to perk the WW.  The only ones wanting it perked are those suffering to it's guns.  Speaks volumes I'd say

If they perks it they better put some supplies in it since you can take the turret out with less then five 50cals.

But currently the Wirbelwind actually is overmodeled :

 - The turret rotates almost 2x faster that in real life
 - Our Wirbel can blaze away at highest ROF (all 4 barrels firing together) 'till his 3200 rounds are gone. A real Wirbel gunner would have to stop after 80 (!) shots to allow reloading (one reloader has to change 2 magazines each then). Continous firing would only be able with half ROF.
 Besides that, only 320 rounds were stored in the turret itself. The rest was carried in the body.
